Description
The Qatari riyal is the official currency of Qatar, a small but wealthy Gulf nation known for its natural gas and oil reserves. Issued by the Qatar Central Bank, the riyal is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 3.64 riyals per dollar, providing stability for the country's export‑driven economy.
The riyal is subdivided into 100 dirhams, though dirham coins are rarely seen in daily transactions. Banknotes feature Arabic calligraphy, the national emblem, and images reflecting Qatar’s modern development. Arabic is the official language, with English widely used in business and tourism.
